TWISTRAIN Straintronic control of correlations in twisted van der Waals heterostructures

Coordinator: BUDAPESTI MUSZAKI ES GAZDASAGTUDOMANYI EGYETEM (HU)

Correlations and topology are the cornerstones of modern condensed matter physics, and their coexistence is believed to lead to novel quantum electronic devices with built-in information protection. In the landmark discoveries of previous years it has been found that in 2D materials placed on top of each other at a magic rotation angle, correlated phases appear. In contrast to high-Tc materials, in twisted van der Waals materials correlation effects are coupled with topology and thanks to their gate tuneability the exploration of their phase diagram takes only days instead of years. This has …

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €1.9M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2023-09-01 to 2028-08-31.
